Reverend Beat-Man and Milan Slick met in 2020, amid the pandemic, while writing a soundtrack for Ana Lily Amirpour's vampire film "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night." They played in Paris at the renowned Super Sonic Records and at the legendary SO36 in Berlin. They then recorded an album with Beatrice Graf and Benjamin Glaus called "Reverend Beat-Man and the Underground." They produced this as part of the Rocklette PALP Festival, a soundtrack and a macabre dance party for the downfall of humanity. A one-man band, super primitive rock 'n' roll trash, hi-energy, lo-fi. Reverend Beat-Man met the sophisticated, clever, playful, and dark Milan Slick and from March 4th to 6th, 2025, they recorded their first full length studio album in the former „Züri West“ studio with Sebastian Zwahlen and the unique Robert Butler (Miracle Workers).
Jenkinses formed in 2013 around the nucleus of duelling guitarists Juliette Drumel and James Neligan, with the mission statement of pumping the warm lifeblood of rock'n'roll into this cold, soundbite-driven world. The line-up is rounded out by bassist Vince D'Aguanno, a veteran of the first-wave Brussels punk-rock scene, and the whirlwind beat of drummer Reno Arents.
The Jenkinses' calling card is A-grade rock'n'roll, played in the dancing-on-a-tightrope, edge-of-your-seat style, a wall of sound and melody that lurches precariously, without ever falling apart. Raw and refined. Caustic and sentimental. Brass knuckles in a velvet glove. High quality, hook-laden songcraft, melodies and lyrics. Jenkinses stand apart from the pack in every sense.
After 2 self-produced e.p's (a self-titled effort in 2014, and the abrasive "Langered" in 2017), 2024 sees the vinyl release of the Jenkinses' full-length "Miracle Reasoning" LP, a timeless rock record that honours its old-school roots, while being unmistakeably of the present age.
27th Oct 2024 will be the 3rd time Jenkinses grace the Magasin 4 stage, this time in the very compatible company of the legendary Nashville Pussy. This is an event not to be missed.
